Sephiroth continued, "I only issued that announcement so that you should not underestimate the enemy, although Silver-Eyed Cross has a proud record of killing a dozen scavengers by one person, but in front of the army, he will always have a time when his physical strength is exhausted, and besides, with a warrior of his strength, our army is not without it.

What's more, Silver-Eyed Cross is only the lord of Copper Mountain Town, and if he attacks Blackwater Town with the combat power of Copper Mountain Town, there will definitely be a lot of losses, and if Charlie attacks Cross at this time, there is a great possibility of victory. ”

While sharing Cross's information with the people in the council hall, Sephiroth speculated about the battle situation in Blackwater, and at the same time, did not forget to inform the true purpose of the announcement.

However, Phantom Archer Esty disagreed with Sephiroth's speculation on the battle situation, "Your Excellency Sephiroth, Silver-Eyed Cross not only has a fairly strong individual combat ability, but his military talent is also quite good!"

"You stand up and say, Estie. ”

Sephiroth actually knew that Cross was called a wizard by the instructor of the Imperial Military Academy, but military talent can only be reflected in actual combat, so he believes more in the intelligence of actual combat, and he is also full of curiosity about Esty's next words.

Of course, the moment Esty said that Cross was a great military talent, everyone in the council hall was curious.

Esty got up, his expression serious, he knew that what he was going to say might cause everyone here to question, but he had to say it, because, it was the truth.

"Silver-Eyed Cross built a stronghold on the north shore of Blackwater overnight. ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire council hall immediately fell silent.

However, this silence only lasted for a few seconds.

Several generals began to question.

"Estie, are you kidding?"

"Didn't Lord Sephiroth say that Cross was the lord of Copperhill, how could a lord of such a small place gather so many people to build a fortress overnight?"

"yes, Esty, could it be that the Stronghold was built by Silvereye Cross alone?"

"Esty, if you don't come up with some proof, I'll just take it as a joke. ”

Several generals continued to taunt and question Esty, but fortunately, Sephiroth stopped them from continuing, "Esty, I need you to convince me. ”

Obviously, Sephiroth didn't believe in the unrealistic idea that a fortress could be built overnight.

Esty adjusted his mood and said, "Charlie's troops are stationed in the jungle on the north shore of Blackwater, and the sentinels didn't find any signs of building a Fortress before nightfall. But in the early morning of the next day, Blackwater sent a distress signal. That's when the troops discovered the fortress.

I didn't see the whole process of building the Stronghold with my own eyes, but the fact that it only allowed me to speculate that Cross's forces had completed the construction of the Stronghold on the north shore of Blackwater in one night. ”

Esty's tone was firm and powerful, he just wanted to tell everyone present that the matter of Blackwater One Night City was the truth.

At this moment, the council hall fell silent again, and the rest of the generals all looked at Sephiroth, as if waiting for his decision.

Sephiroth paced left and right: to finish a fortress overnight? Is this possible? It's a miracle......! Is that why Cross is called a wizard...... making the impossible possible, turning miracles into reality......

After careful consideration, Sephiroth said, "Sheehan, you take a hundred of your cavalry and Esty to Blackwater Town, and don't engage in battle if you encounter an enemy. Report it to me as soon as you find out the information. ”

"Your Excellency Sephiroth...... I want to join you in the assault on the Borean Fortress. Said the general named Sheehan.

"You just asked Esty to show the evidence, he has already said it, now I need you to go and bring it to me, I will wait for you at the Borean Fortress. ”

Seeing that Sephiroth was so resolute, Sheen could only agree.

"Sheehan, if you meet Silver-Eyed Cross, you can use the pill. ”

"Yes!"

With Sheehan and Esty leaving, the council hall fell silent again. Everyone was concerned about the situation in Blackwater.

"Lord Sephiroth, should we contact Joey now and ask him to help us contain Cross?" someone suggested.

"We don't have the right to liaise with Joey, that's the Foreign Secretary's business, what we need to do now is to quickly go north and take the Borean Fortress!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Sephiroth has already sensed the urgency of time, and he must now speed up to get rid of Reinhardt, and then march directly to Copper Mountain Town, and completely strangle Cross Klein while he is not strong enough!

Yes, Sephiroth has already made such a decision in his heart, he doesn't care whether Blackwater Night City is real or not, he will seize the opportunity to eliminate Cross.

......

Day 2, Copper Hill Town.

As soon as the sun rose, Serena said goodbye to Cross, as the lord of Brookwood, she needed to go back this morning.

When Cross woke up, he summoned the main forces of Copperhill Town to the square of the barracks.

Nia, Tina, Wendy, Gawain, Lancelot, Reiner, Watson, and Ulala. Randall lived too far away to let him come, and besides, there was no point in him coming.

As for Link, he's still sleeping, and Link already knows Seti the Raven.

At this moment, Cross was standing beside the Raven Man Saiti.

Everyone came to the square one after another, and they all noticed the different crow man.

The last one to arrive was Gawain. He also spotted the Raven Man, "Huh, have a new partner?"

"Gawain, you're the last one to arrive, so stay quiet the whole time. ”

Cross's tone was serious, and Gawain didn't dare to mess around.

"I have a couple of things to announce today.

First, I'd like to introduce you to a new companion, Saiti, a Raven Man, who will take the place of Lancelot and Gawain to scout and warn around Copperhill.

I hope you can keep this matter a secret.

Second, we have to improve the defense of Copper Mountain Town as soon as possible, mainly the city fortress at the fork in the road, I will still leave this matter to Wendy to deal with, whoever you need help can go directly to me, unless he has a more important and urgent task, to find someone, you don't need to apply to me.

Third, the training and cultivation of soldiers, this matter is entrusted to Watson and Reiner to supervise, and Nia, Gawain and Lancelot are assisted in management, everyone has to train every day, and the specific arrangements are made by Watson and Reiner and handed over to me for review after they are formulated, and they must be formulated today.

Third, Tina, once you're fully restored, you're going to start building the automata in full force.

Finally, the construction of Ulala, the underground city still needs to be accelerated.

That's all I have to say, do you have any questions?"
